Years I Spent in Vanity and Pride

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.

Mercy there was great and grace was free,
Pardon there was multiplied to me,
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned,
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.

Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.

Oh! The love that drew salvation’s plan,
Oh! The grace that brought it down to man,
Oh! The mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary.

William R. Newell

Grace! ‘Tis a Charming Sound

Grace! ‘tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear,
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

Saved by grace alone!
This is all my plea:
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.

‘Twas grace that wrote my name
In life’s eternal book;
‘Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.

Grace taught my wand’ring feet
To tread the heavenly road,
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing up to God.

Grace taught my soul to pray,
And made mine eyes o’erflow;
‘Tis grace has kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.

Oh, let Thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine!
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

Philip Doddridge & A.M. Toplady

Christ Receiveth Sinful Men

Sinners Jesus will receive!
Sound this word of grace to all
Who the heav’nly pathway leave,
All who linger, all who fall!

Sing it o’er and o’er again,
Christ receiveth sinful men;
Make the message clear and plain:
Christ receiveth sinful men.

Come and He will give you rest;
Trust Him, for His word is plain;
He will take the sinfulest;
Christ receiveth sinful men.

Now my heart condemns me not,
Pure before the law I stand;
He who cleansed me from all spot
Satisfied its last demand.

Christ receiveth sinful men,
Even me with all my sin;
Purged from every spot and stain,
Heaven with Him I enter in.
